"not producing energy" Actually its tapping nature's stored solar power. " forget dissecting the ethanol process" Yeah, who cares if more oil is used by corn ethanol than is saved. "You drill baby drill types don't care as long as you get yours while it's available" Hey, I'm all for mine baby mine too. And nuke baby nuke. But we shouldn't waste energy on stupid wasteful ideas like corn ethanol. ".... If he acted like you Christ would never have shared his fish and bread..." Glad to hear you've decided to stop denying Jesus existed. Why you're even accepting NT stories as factual and historical. "I didn't say the water off the beaches was contaminated from oil processing...except for high rent district Rio is filthy...." Rio may be filthy but you haven't shown the ocean water off Rio is too dirty to swim in as you claimed .... thus arguing they only allowed oil drilling since their ocean water and beaches were all squalor. Re Rio being filthy .... how about Europe - is it filthy too iyo? BTW all the European nations allow offshore oil and gas drilling. America is the only nation on earth to ban offshore oil drilling. A powerful testimony to the power of American liberals. All those nations liberals like to hold up as examples ..... none of them declare important energy resources off limits.

Obama adm interested in other countries natural gas reserves - want American companies to profit developing gas overseas US State Dept: Pitching Shale Gas Studies In China, India, Elsewhere By Ian Talley 07 April, 2010 Dow Jones News Service WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The Obama administration has asked nearly a dozen countries, including China and India, if the U.S. can assess their potential shale gas resources, a senior State Department official said Wednesday. David Goldwyn, the department's International Energy Affairs Coordinator, said on the sidelines of a conference that if the assessments confirm U.S. Geological Survey estimates for shale gas resources, the new fuel source could transform the nations' energy policies and consumption. Goldwyn said if the countries consent to Washington's pitch for the USGS to conduct assessments, it could potentially help lower global greenhouse gas emissions and prove a profitable opportunity for U.S. companies that have developed and are perfecting the technologies. Firms including Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) and XTO, recently bought by Exxon Mobil (XOM), are planning to develop massive new domestic shale gas resources. Estimates for domestic natural gas resources have multiplied in recent years because of new shale gas discoveries and technology. Goldwyn said he expected the assessments--if the countries consent--could be completed by the end of 2011. China may give the go-ahead at an economic summit in May, he said. Demand growth in China and India are soaring as the two most populous countries in the world industrialize. Their primary power source is coal, which has roughly twice the greenhouse gas emissions as natural gas.
